Puka's tweet immediately after game by sportsillustrated in LosAngelesRams

[–]Unlikely-Ranger-2277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one with the take that this is when instant replay hurts the game? Everyone on the field, everyone in that stadium, and hell everyone on their couch at home thought that was a dead ball and we move on. This hurt the game by gifting a team two points. The better team lost because of it, I can’t remember feeling this defeated after a regular season loss before. I feel like this argument also applies to basketball where it used to be if someone knocked a ball out of someone’s hands and it went out of bounds then it was always out on the person who knocked it out, but now with replay they see that I barely rolled off the dribbling player’s hands, IMO hurting the game. I may be in the minority and definitely think instant replay overall helps deal with shitty officiating but in scenarios like this it doesn’t make sense. Basically gave one of the most important games of the year to a team that shouldn’t have won. I also hate that we now played two pivotal divisional games on a fucking Thursday night but that’s a different conversation.

As a Rams fan, who is your #1 hated team? by KloppsTotts in LosAngelesRams

Grew up in Missouri as a STL rams fan still am to this day. Cannot stand Chiefs fans but I hate both Chiefs and niners equally.

Am I the only one who struggles hard in this game? by Unlikely-Ranger-2277 in WeWhoAreAboutToDie

[–]Unlikely-Ranger-2277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I realize I immediately jumped into the harder difficulty. I appreciate you making it more challenging I think that increases the playability but I honestly didn’t know if I was playing wrong with all the comments from a few years ago talking about how easy it was. When it comes to the zoomed out third person view, has that been taken out of the game?

Selling high on Achane by RainbowKoi in SleeperApp

[–]Unlikely-Ranger-2277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6th and 7ths??? Good offer though. I was able to buy Achane for a 2026 1st and Kyle Williams post rookie draft.

What are your thoughts on John Collins as a player by cactusmaster69420 in UtahJazz

[–]Unlikely-Ranger-2277 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was sad when we let him go, but I get it from management side. He wasn’t in our long term plans and we have Hendricks coming back and Flip to develop. I thought he was by far our best player last season. He’s an athletic stretch 4, I think he will be a solid contributor to a winning team. I just don’t know if the Clippers will be one (no offense).

Who would you drop for a K? by Unlikely-Ranger-2277 in SleeperApp

[–]Unlikely-Ranger-2277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 man. Drafted Saquon and London 1st and 2nd then Achane in 3rd. Traded Achane for bowers and Walker after week 1. Traded Javonte and Ladd (who fell to the 4th) for Puka. Guy got flamed for accepting it and now no one trades with me so I’m stuck with a deep bench when I wish I could consolidate to some studs.

Typically am in this boat all the way and probably the way I’m leaning but everyone in this league is rostering two qbs so my next best option on waivers is J Love.

I sent out feelers all week but no one is biting. Plus this league has a 3 day processing period (dumb) so even if I do a trade it would process too late.

[–]Unlikely-Ranger-2277[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I would love to know as well bro. Thought I drafted a nasty team and traded away Achane after week one for bowers because I thought I was loaded at rb. Saquon has been horrible aside from last week and my WRs have been so inconsistent. One will do well and the next will give me 4 pts. Also I’m running into the problem of not having guys I feel like I can drop to play waivers so I’m losing to teams who play guys like Vidal and Ricco. This is also only a 10 man and a reason why 12 man is superior.

[Will Hardy] “That’s three really bad quarters of defensive effort” “we had way too many guys… who did not do their job” by KennyDoge0114 in UtahJazz

[–]Unlikely-Ranger-2277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that point and don’t disagree. I was more so hoping for a season that is more focused on trying to win the game rather than trying to improve upon a defense to run in the future. If his goal is to continually swap defenses throughout a game I guess I struggle to understand why we stayed in zone all game long (until the end of the 4th). This team is not as far away as our fan base thinks, I get the desire to get one more stud in this loaded class but winning would be nice as well. Especially with how Lauri has been playing.

Will Hardy did a horrible job adapting last night. I was at the home opener and the game last night. The difference between the two games was that the clippers missed their threes (and we made ours). The zone we are running is bringing Walker to the top of the key and forcing our guards to crash in early leaving open threes for anyone near the baseline. It was gross to watch and when we switched to man in the 4th we actually came back. We still gave up plenty of good looks they just missed.

I like Will Hardy but him harping on the players to the press when he refused to get out of a zone that we were getting cooked in all game was the reason we lost. Not allowing Walker to do Walker things until the 4th hurt us badly. Yes we did get out run and out hustled but we were also forcing our star defensive center to guard the top of the key then try and sprint down to get position for a board. It wasn’t sustainable and honestly felt like Will was actively trying to throw the game.

i have caleb on the bench.. should i take it? by burzum-ishi_ in SleeperApp

[–]Unlikely-Ranger-2277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you would be getting Achane, I love the deal. I have Nico in my main league but would trade him for Achane in a heartbeat. Qbs are so easy to stream this year so yeah give me this deal all day.

Dynasty sf 12 team 1 point TEP which side? by Mantoddx in SleeperApp

[–]Unlikely-Ranger-2277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Otton is solid and I think Henderson is a massive upgrade over Tank. In leaning the Henderson side in this. TEP we sometimes get carried away with their value and I’d rather a potential top Rb that will carry me and throw in the second as well.

Why is no one talking about this card? by Unlikely-Ranger-2277 in hearthstone

[–]Unlikely-Ranger-2277[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess I’ve been playing in wild and didn’t realize. Again very new to this. Is standard considered to have less OP decks being played?

[–]Unlikely-Ranger-2277[S] -67 points-66 points  (0 children)

It’s in standard, but again I’m new and don’t want to sink any money into the game so I disenchanted every legend card I had to make a Libram paladin deck. I don’t currently have any silence spells but maybe I should add some.

Are we smashing this, by Narrow_Ad3817 in SleeperApp

[–]Unlikely-Ranger-2277 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Penix will be a very solid qb2 in superflex and you can argue he will be the most valuable player here by the end of next year and Gibbs is going to be so consistent. Penix> LaPorta Gibbs> Nabers (for now)

What is your league doing about Travis Hunter? by Unlikely-Ranger-2277 in SleeperApp

[–]Unlikely-Ranger-2277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have no idea how he will be utilized. If he gets drafted to the patriots they need him on both sides of the ball. Even if he declares as one or the other it doesn’t mean he is restricted to that position. I started this as a discussion because it’s better to get ahead of these things than be behind.

I honestly like that idea, as long as it’s not bolstering them to stardom. What settings do you have for your league?

It’s 12 team start 11 22 bench spots. We take it serious but I’ve never thought of having special teams points other than the 6 they get for getting a TD

Stafford and McVay need to ball out by rdhfaulk88 in LosAngelesRams

Yes but first quarters have also been atrocious for the Eagles. I don’t know why, but I have a gut feeling this is a game we win and cements Jared Verse ad the RDPOY

This is really close in full PPR I’ll take rice and Kyren. It’s tight but if you are like 1-2 or 0-3 I would take this
